As is known to all, waste on campus has become a more and more serious problem. We can easily see many students dump a lot of food in the garbage can. Some students spend thousands of yuan buying fashionable clothes and so on.

The negative effects of waste can be shown in the following aspects. In the first place, it makes some students dependent on their parents for money, which is harmful to their development.

If they don’t learn to support themselves, they will be “useless people” when they graduate. In the second place, it is not easy for our parents to arrange for our schooling. Last but not the least important, there is no denying the fact that our country is still poor. There are many people who cannot go to university and many poor people still need our help.

As far as I am concerned, I should set a good example to reduce waste on campus. First of all, I will refrain from wasting anything, from food to stationery. What’s more, I’m determined to call on more schoolmates to fight against waste. Only through these measures can we hope to reduce waste on campus.

今天一大早，我就风风火火的赶到少年宫。这是为什么呢？因为我今天要参加英语剧表演。

刚进会场，哈，我们已经迟了里面早已热闹非凡。第一个上场的表演的节目是狮子觅食。一个同学头戴狮子面具威风凛凛的出场了。只见他伸伸懒腰说道：“I  am   hungry，What’s  for  dinner 。”说完就出去觅食了。这时一只小兔子拿着一个红萝卜蹦蹦跳跳的走了过来，狮子一见就上前去威严地说：“把食物给我吃吧。”小兔子一看是狮子，连忙把手中的红萝卜送给了狮子，狮子吃了一口觉得不好吃，发了狮威恶狠狠的把红萝卜砸向小兔子还大声的骂着，小兔子吓得飞快的逃跑了。他们精彩的表演赢得了一片掌声。狮子表演者熟练的英语对话、惟妙惟肖的动作，仿佛把我们带进了一个动物园。

接下来的节目是皇帝的新装、狼来了和拔萝卜，各班的表演都很精彩，让我觉得心里不踏实起来，怕自己表演不好。

终于轮到我们上场了，我的心怦怦直跳怕我们班会输给其他的班级。当音乐一响起来，我们每个人都很快进了状态。我那颗怦怦直跳的心也平静了下来。大家各自表演者自己的角色，十分认真。突然电脑出问题了，把我们出场的顺序都打乱了，弄得我们几个团团转转都不知道怎么去表演了。这是老师在后面打着手势让我们跟着幻灯片来表演，我们手忙脚乱的的样子把评委都逗笑了。最后我们的成绩只有76.365分。

虽然这次我们没有取得好的成绩，但是我们却收获了快乐。
